ATTENTIVE TO CATS.
Two Paris Women Who Dally Feed Heores
of Them.
A lady who lives near the Jardin des
riantee, or old Parisian zoo, is u provi
dence to the stray cats of her neighbor
hood. She feeds daily a hundred at the
Bercy wine market, where they are al
lowed to live in the cellars. This lady
believes in the transmigration of souls,
and says she feels as if she was form
erly incarnate in a woman who hated
animals. Her extreme sensibility to
their sufferings is, she also feels, the
punishment meted to her. She has in
an outhouse a number of mutilated and
sick cats that she rescued.
Another lady attends to the cats in
the Palais de Justice, the Central mar
kets, the prefecture of police and the
Sorbonne. There are 30 cats at the
Palais de Justice. They are in the habit
f being regularly fed. When anything
prevents their ' benefactress coming in
me nick of time they go out to meet
her, and follow her to the court at the
west side of the palals. A number of po
licemen witness her arrival, and help.
one is pieasea to think that she has
awakened a spirit of humanitv in the
police force. Policemen who know her
are loth to destroy cats, or to pass them
on to vivisectors. ,

Hen Who Have Nothing Bat Money to
Boast Of Uain Aeoess to the Charmed
Circle of the Highest In
the Land.
The char'ge made against American
society that it is based upon the wor
ship of money has been so often re
peated and insisted on that we our
selves have almost come to believe it.
The fact that it is not true, either as
general proposition or in detail, has
not sufficed to offset the weight of au
thority, which is on the side of our ac
cusers. The charge has gone so far
that we should probably have entered
a plea of guilty and thrown ourselves
on the mercy of .the court if recent ex
periences had not led us to pause and
consider.
These experiences, briefly stated, are,
first, that the nation which is most
urgent in reproaching us as money wor
shipers has recently made itself most
conspicuous in the devoutness of its
worship of the American dollar, and.
second, that the condition of society in
which distinction is based on money
bags and which does not prevail in this
country does most undoubtedly prevail
among our censorious and superior
cousins in England.
It is not true that mere millions.with
out breeding and refinement, can make
their way into the leading social circles
of New York or of any other great city
in this country. It is quite true that
mere millions, unaccompanied by breed
ing or refinement, have given their pos
sessors the entree of society in Eng'
land. Two conspicuous recent in
stances are those of Col. North, the
"nitrate king," and "Barney" Barnato,
the "Kaffir king."
It 1b doing no injustice to Col. North to
say that be baa absolutely no other
claim to notice than his millions. As
recent candidate for parliament he
made himself the laughing stock of tho
nat ion by his exposure of his ignorance,
bad grammar and general vulgarity,
Yet he has reached the highest level of
social distinction in England. In com'
mon with celebrities from this coun
try, he is "a friend of the prince of
Wales."
The case of Mr. Barnato, the Kaffir
king, is even more striking. It is
proof that money, end nothing but
money, is the sole condition of passing
the portals of high life in England
Mr. Parnate's early history is enveloped
in mystery. When he first appeared in
opulent eminence it was said that hi
start in life was made as a clown in
an exceedingly modest circus tent. The
myth has since been explained by his
admirers as arising from his fondness
for private theatricals, this form of
amusement having been much In vogue
In the (liiii'iond drifts and gold dirrglngs
of South Africa. What is known about
Ul ni is that he has made a sudden for
tune, variously estimated at from $50,
000,000 to $500,000,000. Among his
quoted sayings are his boast that he
"will stiuul any. man a drink, but will
lend no man a fiver, and bis advice to
"always have the first lilt." Thcac
maxims suflicit otly indicate the social
rank In which Mr. Iiurtiato ought to be
round, and which he would probably
continue to flourlah If he were en Amer
ican. Here his place would be with
others as illiterate, as Ignorant and as
vulgar as hiniwlf. But In England be

THE TINDERBOX.
Its Use Baqalred Much Work A Calleo-
tloa of Snuffers.
Does any one of my readers know
whereatinderboxcanbeseen.orhas any
of them an idea of what it is like? For
tunately I came upon a description of
it in the recently published account of
tho lifetime of John Hollingshead.
"T lie tindcrbox was the toy of my child
hood." It was certainly not a toy in
my time; it was very much the reverse
on absolute necessity. I will allow
however, Mr. Hollingshead still to
speak. "Without It there would have
been no lightor fire with it there were
(after a time) light and fire and a cer
tain amount of safety. No child could
burn down a house or burn itself to a
cinder with a tinderbox." (It was, in
fact, beyond the reach of most children
to suike a light.) First of all, the
rags had to be got and burned into a
tinder. "This tinder was put into a
large round tin box, big enough for a
pic dish. Then a piece of jagged flint
had to be got, and a thing called 'a
steel,' which might have been the re
mains of an old horseshoe, had to be
purchased; the flint struck edgeways
on the steel sent sparks into the tinder,
which smoldered and prepared itself
for the matches.
. "The matches were a formidable bun
die of thin strips of wood, diamond
pointed at the ends and dipped in brim
stone. They suggested Guido Fawkes
and the cellars of the old houses of
purliamentand the 'guys' in the streets,
carried in chairs by boys, who repre
sented a proper Protestant horror of
all ltomnn Catholics." It is now half
a century since I have seen such athing,
It is possible that in the country It
still exists; with the penurious char
acter of the French peasant and the
heavy tax in France on matches it is
more than probable that it might there
be found. In London it is now an an
tlqulty. References to the flint in this
respect are frequent In Shakespeare,
the ltest kuown being that In "Julius
Caesar," wherein Brutus tells Casslus
that he
"Carries anaer as the flint bears fire,
Which, much enforced, shows a hasty
para
And straight Is cold again."
Other things, such as horn lanthorns.
are at least uncommon. Snuffers were
at one time Id constant use and may be
seen now, for aught I know, In certain
quarters. One thlug at least 1 know
a friend of mine has taken to collecting
them as curios. Gentleman's Mara
